Hisdesat and Airbus Defence & Space will jointly commercialize images and applications from the future PAZ-2 satellites.
Hisdesat and Airbus Defence & Space have maintained a collaboration since 2018 around the Spanish satellite PAZ and the German TerraSAR‑X / TanDEM‑X constellation.
Hisdesat reinforces its role as a Spanish government-focused operator of satellite services through the agreement with Airbus Defence & Space.
Hisdesat’s agreement with Airbus Defence & Space reinforces Hisdesat’s position in the European Earth observation ecosystem.
The extended collaboration with PAZ-2 strengthens Airbus Defence & Space’s catalog of radar solutions and enables further integration of national capabilities into its global offering.
The new agreement extends the relationship that integrated the Spanish satellite PAZ into Airbus’s radar constellation, combining PAZ capabilities with TerraSAR‑X and TanDEM‑X to provide high-precision, high-availability observation services.
Airbus Defence and Space has an agreement with Skynopy to leverage Skynopy’s software-defined ground station technology to decrease latency for the Pléiades Neo Earth observation constellation.
Airbus awarded Avio a contract to launch the first Pléiades Neo Next Earth observation satellite aboard a Vega C rocket from the Guiana Space Centre.
Airbus’s satellite fleet includes optical and radar constellations that provide complementary services with diversified resolutions, all-weather capability, and day-and-night operability.
Airbus awarded the Avio launch contract on 27 January.
Vega C returned to flight in October 2023 following a December 2022 failure that resulted in the loss of two Airbus Pléiades Neo satellites.
Airbus is developing new capabilities based on stratospheric platforms.
Development of Pléiades Neo Next will improve Airbus’s ground segment, Direct Receiving Stations, and the OneAtlas platform, increasing capacity to handle image requests and reducing the time between request, acquisition, and reception.
Airbus’s selection of Vega C reflects renewed confidence in the rocket’s reliability following Vega C’s return to service in October 2023.
The Pléiades Neo Next program is funded, produced, and operated by Airbus Defence and Space.
Airbus will launch its first Pléiades Neo Next satellite in early 2028 from the European Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
Users will be able to task Airbus satellites up to a few tens of minutes before the satellite passes over an area of interest.
Airbus was contracted to develop the Thermal Control Units (TCU) for the Orion European Service Module.
Airbus Defence and Space operates the Pléiades Neo Next programme as the successor to the Pléiades Neo constellation.
NASA contracted Airbus, marking the first time a non‑U.S. company was tasked to build a critical element for a U.S. human spaceflight mission.
